Registering, step by step
- Register and book on chinesetest.cn, choosing the centre and format (paper or computer).
- Pay the centre the way its page says (most centres here use their own online shop, bank transfer or cash). The online status usually changes to “paid” only after the centre reconciles payments.
- Print the admission ticket and bring the same ID you registered with.
Good to know
- Unusual schedule: each 2027 sitting offers only one HSK level, so pick your date by level.
- The duration column in the centre's timing table matches the old HSK 2.0 papers; for HSK 3.0 timings use the official syllabus (see our level pages).
- The 13 Dec 2026 sitting was not in the centre's tables when we read them on 2026-11-13 (尚未确认 / not yet confirmed).
